June 13-14, 2015

200 Grant Street, Denver

This was yet ANOTHER piece I dreamed recently. I have such a great love of trees, this is my respect. It still has texture and color and pattern. Notice the stamp and bits of paper along with the round shapes of texture. The background is acrylic, and then there is modeling paste, paper and finally oil. This is part of my "play" as I emerge into another stage of work. VERY exciting for me. I LOVE the simplicity in this piece...not my typical, and not the largest body of my work, but that is one thing I love about it! HA...every once in awhile I need to rest my eyes! I call this whimsical and fun...It's unique depth with the wood sides make it a great piece to sit on a shelf...you can even put things on top of it! A great little piece for decor!

Here are a couple detail photos so you can see a bit more clearly what is going on in the seemingly simple little painting!

detail 1

note the fun texture that is the tree in the center...LOVE that texture!

detail 2

even in this larger expanse with little subject matter I have added texture and subtle pattern. FUN!

As with Aspen Dreams from my last post I have yet to decide what I want to do to the sides of this painting. I don't know if I will stain them or paint them...Great fun to contemplate!
